Arvind , It all depends on where it grows ( type of soil , water , fertilized by cattle ) like I mentioned in a previous message . Shape and height is very different . Some grow like a Christmas tree ( or like a Mangosteen ) others have an almost round canopy , others go straight up . I would say an average of 10 meters .Just for fun , I planted one inside my orchard in the worst type of soil , almost never water it . If it were an animal I'd be put in jail for animal-cruelty . I kept , read : the most unprofessional pruning anyone could do , slashing away with the machete to keep it around 3 meters . Doesn't give a damn....Flowering again right now , seems early, too bad I never made a note of flowering time for the previous years .
Mine started flowering! It's only about 4 - 5 feet tall but is at least 7 years old.
